Chapter 49

Lu Yunxiang’s face lit up with surprise.

“You’re awake?”

Lu Yunxiang was so beautiful, and her kind smile made her seem like sunshine warming the earth.

The little boy was very handsome, with regular features, and his youth made him appear soft and cute.

Lu Yunxiang had lost the opportunity to be a mother in her previous life, and she loved children.

Lu Yunxiang asked him gently, “What’s your name? Do you know where you live?”

The little boy just blinked his big eyes at her.

He didn’t speak.

Lu Yunxiang didn’t pressure him.

He must have been scared.

The human traffickers probably used violence to capture him, and he hadn’t recovered yet.

She took a big bun from her bag.

“Are you hungry?”

The little boy looked at the big bun in her hand and subconsciously swallowed.

Lu Yunxiang gently placed the bun in his hand.

“Eat.”

The little boy couldn’t resist the allure of the bun’s aroma and eagerly started devouring it.

It seemed he hadn’t eaten in a while.

Lu Yunxiang gently patted his back.

“Slow down, no one is taking it from you. Have some milk.”

The milk was exchanged from the system store, and the bun was one she had made earlier, both infused with spiritual energy.

This child had probably been given a lot of drugs. Eating something from the system store would purify the drugs and impurities in his body.

After all, drugs were harmful to the body, and this child’s system tag was “Genius.”

He must be an incredibly gifted genius.

Otherwise, how could his points be as high as five thousand?

The key was that the system wanted her to raise him!

She didn’t understand the system’s standards for raising children.

She also didn’t know if the boy’s family would let her raise him.

But she would take care of him for now.

When Ji Mingjing came back after giving his statement, he saw Lu Yunxiang smiling at the little boy, who was biting into a big bun, looking contented.

Lu Yunxiang saw him and immediately asked, “What did they say?”

Ji Mingjing stroked her hair.

His eyes were filled with affection.

“The situation is a bit complicated. The four human traffickers will be investigated and dealt with. We need to take this little boy to the capital.”

He had already called his grandfather and explained the boy’s situation, asking his grandfather to inquire about it. They would discuss the rest when they got to the capital.

They had boarded the train at five o’clock the previous night, apprehended the human traffickers at five o’clock in the morning, and it was already seven o’clock now, with the sky brightening.

“They have arranged a train ticket for us at nine o’clock. If you’re tired, just close your eyes and rest.”

Lu Yunxiang shook her head thoughtfully.

“I’m fine, how about you?”

Ji Mingjing had been busy with the arrest and giving statements, he was the one who was most tired.

Ji Mingjing’s eyes softened.

“I’m not tired.”

His usual training was more tiring than this.

Moreover, staying up for days and nights during combat was common.

This level of fatigue was nothing to him.

Lu Yunxiang and Ji Mingjing waited for the child to finish his bun before heading to the station.

Ji Mingjing instinctively wanted to carry the child.

But the child turned around and hid behind Lu Yunxiang.

He clearly resisted Ji Mingjing and only wanted to stay with Lu Yunxiang.

Ji Mingjing chuckled helplessly. Did he feel like someone was trying to steal his wife?

And it was just a little kid.

Lu Yunxiang covered her mouth and snickered. She squatted down and said to the child, “Xiaobao, if you get tired and want to be carried, let the big brother carry you. You’re too heavy, sister can’t carry you.”

Xiao Bao’s bright eyes looked at her.

“You hold, I walk.”

Lu Yunxiang smiled.

“Okay, I’ll hold your hand and walk.”

Xiao Bao didn’t talk much, but he was very dependent on Lu Yunxiang. He held her hand all the way and wouldn’t let go.

Ji Mingjing frowned.

His displeasure was written all over his face.

The most frustrating thing was that when they got on the train, Xiao Bao actually sat between him and Lu Yunxiang!

He leaned against Lu Yunxiang, and at the same time, he squeezed him away with his butt!

Was this a child?

This was a light bulb, right?

Lu Yunxiang saw Ji Mingjing’s dark expression and couldn’t hold back her laughter. Her hand slid across the seat and slowly hooked onto his big hand, scratching his palm.

Ji Mingjing felt a jolt throughout his body, a tingling warmth sweeping through him.

The next second, he directly grabbed her hand.

He held it firmly in his big palm.

His palm was warm and gave a sense of security.

She didn’t look at his burning gaze, she just stifled her laughter.

This journey was much smoother this time.

Xiao Bao was too tired in the latter half, so he fell asleep on Lu Yunxiang’s shoulder.

Ji Mingjing quickly picked him up and held him in his arms.

Then, he hooked his other arm around Lu Yunxiang’s shoulder, gently pulled her, and her soft body leaned against his shoulder.

Lu Yunxiang looked up in surprise.

She met Ji Mingjing’s deep gaze.

Her heart skipped a beat.

“Xiangxiang…”

This was the first time Ji Mingjing called her name so affectionately.

Lu Yunxiang nervously clenched her small hand.

“Hmm…”

The love in Ji Mingjing’s eyes was about to overflow.

“I like you, give me a chance to take care of you, okay?”

Lu Yunxiang’s face instantly flushed red.

Their ambiguous journey was unspoken, only a thin veil remained.

She actually vaguely guessed that he would confess before they reached the capital.

But at this time…

Well, she was prepared for any moment.

She gave Ji Mingjing a gentle smile, then under his burning gaze, she slowly, firmly, nodded.

“Okay.”

“I like you too.”

Ji Mingjing felt like a million fireworks exploded in his chest.

Brilliant and colorful.

He looked at Lu Yunxiang, his eyes burning hot.

“Thank you.”

Thank you for being with me.

Thank you for giving me a chance to experience happiness.

[Ding! Iron Man’s Tenderness! Virtue + 10000]

Lu Yunxiang: ?

[What the heck?]

What iron man’s tenderness?

How did she get ten thousand virtue points?!

[Ji Mingjing is a single man. According to this system’s statistics, he would have been a bachelor for life if he hadn’t met you! Your existence has benefited him, and he is a man of great virtue. You have given a man of great virtue the taste of happiness. Therefore, you have gained virtue!]

Lu Yunxiang: …

Is that even possible?!

Are you kidding me?!

She suddenly felt that the system was particularly fond of Ji Mingjing!

It was out of control!
